Careers in Art

Below you'll find information about several different types of art jobs. If using your creativity and working within the arts is important to you, but launching a craft business is not the best fit for your needs, there are other ways to make money with art and find work doing what you enjoy. The art careers listed below will give you some ideas.

In addition to running my craft business, I've also spent several years working as an employment counselor. Part of my job involved helping people research a huge variety of different career options. There are plenty of excellent (and usually free) career resources that can help you to find out more information about different jobs in the arts that may be of interest to you.

In the links below, you'll find resources to determine:

What you would do on a typical day in a particular job
Average salaries in the field
Information about current and predicted future demand for individuals working in the field
Required education and experience for entry into the job

Keep in mind, if you are using labor market information from a country other than your own, some factors such as required education and average wages may vary from one country to another. Information from other countries can provide a very helpful starting point for your research, but do be sure to find local information whenever possible.
